Mourning for a “person who shaped the townscape’: Georg Führer died at the age of 82. “All I have to do is look out the window and then I have the whole world in front of me,” his mother always said, says his son Hannes.

The family played a big role in his father's life, says Hannes, who took over the farm, which was first mentioned in the 15th century, from his father. Georg Fulrer found his final resting place yesterday at the top of the mountain.
